Re: Rockets sending Wells to Hornets?
A lot of you guys dont understand how TERRIBLE Mike james really is, to get rid of his contract, and his black hole *** was a blessing. But to Dump Bonzi, our main force off the bench was just stupid.
I posted this in the Rockets board, so here goes....
I was just sitting here thinking about this. The loss of Bonzi would really hurt our depth. But dumping that James contract, and getting a player in return who knows Ricks system with only one year on his contract is really tempting though...
Question is, what are we going to do with Bonzi after this year anyway? I don't know what kind of money he wants, and not sure if we should attempt to resign him in the offseason, or possibly spend that money elsewhere. This could be a good way to package both Bonzi, & James's contract without the risk of losing Bonzi for nothing in the offseason anyway, thus keeping us stuck with James.
You guys understand what I am saying?
Also, what if were clearing up cap space and gaining a back up PG (Jackson) in order to land Miller or Artest by giving up Snyder + Brooks + another player + Conditional? Its been reported that the Kings want Brooks badly, or the Grizz would be getting youngins for Miller.
Bonzi's an important figure for us and I dont think Morey is going to just deal him unless he knows we'll be getting a bigtime player on the backside.
like I said, Bobby has played for Adelman. Yes, he is injured a lot, but he's a product of the system and a decent defensive player. Also his contract becomes a great asset next season. (would be 6 mil expiring deal)
Pretty much, Artest or Miller better be in a Rockets uniform this season if this deal goes down.

Re: Rockets sending Wells to Hornets?
I agree. This deal HAD to be made with something else in mind. If Artest arrives in Houston without Battier going, Bonzi would've been fighting for time.

Re: Rockets sending Wells to Hornets?
Terrible trade. Hopefully Green can step up or Luther really starts shooting alot better.
Bonzi was an awesome player for us. He could play SG-SF-PF can was great at all positions.

Re: Rockets sending Wells to Hornets?
Do you guys actually care about this season though? Wells would help in the playoffs. So, you guys are basically just writing off the season even with a 10 game winning streak?

The deadline passed though, so it doesn't look like Artest is going anywhere.
